Hot Dogs/Smoked Sausages
Although they are precooked, we
recommend cooking hot dogs and smoked
sausages until the internal temperature is
165°F when tested with an instant-read
thermometer.
TIPS & HINTS
• Trim excess fats from meat before grilling/
griddling.
• Do not press down on meats, poultry or
seafood when grilling/griddling – this will
press out the juices, which keep the
texture of the meat moist and tender.
• To create a “diamond” pattern on meats
and fish when grilling, brush item lightly
with olive oil. Cook on the first side
without turning, for 2 to 3 minutes. Then
rotate 45 degrees and cook for 2 to 3
minutes longer or until that side is done.
Repeat on other side.
• Firm-fleshed fish can be cooked directly
on either the grill or griddle surface.
Smaller items such as shrimp or scallops
can be skewered if desired (if using
wooden skewers, soak first to prevent
burning).
• For the best burgers, handle the meat as
little as possible. Press 5 to 6 ounces lean
ground meat into 4-inch rounds – a large
round cookie cutter makes a good
template. Grill, then season with salt and
pepper to taste.
• The grill can be used to grill foods other
than meats. Grilled garlic bread or Texas
toast can be made by brushing melted
butter seasoned with garlic and herbs on
thickly sliced artisan breads, then grilling
until golden brown. Vegetables can be
grilled as an entrée or side dish, and fruits
can be grilled for desserts.
• The griddle is the perfect appliance for
preparing grilled cheese sandwiches for a
group. Lightly brush bread with melted
butter or olive oil, add your favorite fillings,
and grill on the griddle side, preheated to
medium-high. Turn when toasty, crisp and
deep golden, about 3 to 4 minutes per
side.
• French toast is simple to prepare on the
griddle. Use your favorite recipe using egg
and milk mixture to soak bread, then cook
on griddle preheated to medium heat.
• To prepare bacon, place the bacon strips
on the cold griddle (½ lb. at a time). Heat
to medium-high, and cook until desired
crispiness is reached, turning once or
twice while cooking.
• Simplify chopping and blending tasks
while preparing the following recipes, by
using a Cuisinart
®
Food Processor,
Chopper/Grinder or Blender.
